The '''Bushwacka''' is an unlockable, community-made weapon added in the [[Polycount Update]] that replaces the [[Sniper]]'s [[Kukri]]. Carrying it makes the Sniper more vulnerable to fire, taking 20% more damage. On the other hand, if the weapon is swung and would normally do a [[Mini-Crit]], it will instead do a full-blown [[Critical hit]]. This makes it deadly when paired with [[Jarate]] or a friendly [[Buff Banner]]. Also handy if a target you have shot with the [[Sydney Sleeper]] gets too close.
